Transparency

What made you break and fall away?
Sweet jaded boy, are you okay?
Did you recover self control?
Did your heart mend, do you feel whole?

I hope positive fills your days,
that happiness soon comes to stay,
wish inner faith conquers old fears,
ignites your steps throughout each year.

Dear jilted boy, do you feel strong?
Has time rectified every wrong?
Did that white mask finally slip?
Did a pure smile land on your lips?

I pray your path is ever bright,
may past lessons carry insight,
forgiveness helps clear off great pain,
so tomorrow could offer gain.

  1. Sweet jaded boy, are you okay?

    I know this line is early in the poem–and the entire work is engaging–but this line I find especially appealing. I am drawn in.

  2. As life’s winding journey continues to unfold,
    May bravery be your constant stronghold.
    With each trial faced, and each lesson learned,
    May resilience blossom, undeterred.
